Crochet Tote Bag Pattern

"This crochet tote bag is perfect for the beach and for the local market. A handmade bag can make a perfect gift for your friend, mother, grandmother... However I have used 100% acrylic yarn, natural fiber yarns are more popular for crochet bags, because they are usually stronger than acrylic yarns. Cotton yarn is perfect for this project, but you can use acrylic yarn Like I did.
